ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the therapeutic experience of 24 patients of traumatic head injuries with GCS score of 3.METHODS:
Twenty-four most severely head-injured patients with GCS score of 3 who were admitted to our department from Jan 1995 to Mar 1998 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS:
Twelve cases (50.0%) survived, of which 7 cases (29.2%) had good recovery or moderate disability and 5 cases with severe deficits (20.8%), and the other 12 died (50.0%) after therapy.CONCLUSIONS:
The prognosis of most severely head-injured patients with GCS score of 3 could be improved by early intracranial hematoma removal with large decompressive craniotomies, early moderate hypothermia therapy, early assistant ventilation and effective prevention and treatment of complications.
